<br>
I have gotten nut to work this evening, with usbhid-ups, and a small<br>
addition to udev, on my new TrippLite SmartOnline model. I am on Ubuntu<br>
10.04. This is the 2U rackmount 800W unit.<br>
<br>
The ID was 4004, which was unrecognized.<br></blockquote><div><br>it has been added to the trunk (development release) after the 2.4.3 release:<br>r2455: Add "Tripp Lite SmartOnline SU1000XLA" to list of supported devices. [Ron Peterson]

I do have some questions:<br>
1) is the USB HID driver the appropriate choice here?<br></blockquote><div><br>yes<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
2) the manufacturer feature list for this device indicates that there<br>
are 3 separately addressable output groups on the back, and that the<br>
factory management software ought to be able to bring up/down loads 1,<br>
2, or 3 independently. I don't see a mechanism/exposure of this in NUT.<br></blockquote><div><br>if your UPS *and* your driver support outlets, then you have an outlet collection displayed, part of the data.<br> </div>

Let me know if there is additional information that would be useful to<br>
